Army Corps: 2 Asian carp DNA hits near Lake Mich.

Two more samples taken from a waterway near Lake Michigan contained genetic material from invasive Asian carp, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Friday. The samples were drawn from Lake Calumet, on Chicago's South Side, during a second round of testing triggered by the discovery of Asian carp DNA there in May and June. The DNA was from silver carp, one of two Asian species threatening to enter the Great Lakes after migrating northward in the Mississippi River and its tributaries for decades.
